IoT/OT Privacy & Security

The vision for an Internet of Everything and Everyone (IoEE) is for more than just an Internet of Things. It provides opportunities for organizations to get closer to their customers and to provide products and services that are more closely aligned to their needs. It provides the potential to enhance the quality of life for individuals, through better access to information and more control over their environment. It makes possible more efficient use of infrastructure by more precise control based on detailed and up to data information. It will change the way goods are manufactured by integrating manufacturing machinery, customers and partners allowing greater product customization as well as optimizing costs, processes and logistics.

However the IoEE comes with risks, and organizations adopting this technology need to be aware of and manage these risks. The realization of the vision is based on existing systems and infrastructure which contain known weaknesses. This is leading to risks to individual privacy and the organizations using the technologies risk using tainted data.

After attending this session you will be able to:

• Describe the 4 major challenges from the IoT
• Describe the 5 major steps and organization needs to take to securely exploit the IoEE
